greatly out of repair and needs immediate at
tention. The stencil arising therefrom IS
sufficient to create sickness in the building.
We found the furnace to be in very unsafe
condition and would recommend the heating
of the building by steam. We would further
suggest the lighting of the building by gas,
and the erection of two gas lamps IN freat OF
the Jail. The outer wall surrounding the Jail
was found insecure and dilapidated, and not
in condition to prevent the escape OF pris-
oners. w. w. NAILLE, Foreman.
